Show HN: Ambulate – Detailed Trip Planning

[_phnd_]

https://ambulate.app

Ambulate was created because planning hiking trips using spreadsheets and various map solutions got chaotic. I wanted an app to manage and map multi day trip itineraries in the outdoors/backcountry.

Features - Manage itineraries - Add activities and map markers - Add routes (upload GPX or plot by hand on map) - Desktop and mobile

It is free to try (login using Google or create a user). Alternatively the slides on the home page give an idea of the UI.

I'll appreciate any thoughts and feedback you care to share:)

Just a quick note on your landing page on mobile, if you add the following CSS to the slides img element it'll look a lot better across viewports:

    max-width: 100%;
    object-fit: contain;

I don't think the slides are enough to view the app's features. I don't want to create an account just to see the features. Also the auto-advancing slides don't allow me to look closely at the UI.

I think this needs a non-registered user page. Not feeling to sign up to just have a look.

I love this idea. It's simple, effective, and the UI is great. The account creation process is such a relief. Editing and saving trips is delightfully fast. A few suggestions:

* When adding an activity (or route), I instinctively look for a button at the buttom that says "Save activity". And possibly one that says "Cancel". Right now it's immediately saved and appears on the itinerary. That might be faster, but it leaves me feeling anxious about state.

* The ability to share a Trip with others and even to allow collaboration would be a game-changer. Might require you to allow people to view/create/edit Trips with a "guest" account.

* It would be amazing if there was a way to automatically generate driving or public transport directions and have the Activity and Route both added into the itinerary.

I need more information on what this can do before I'm willing to create an account.

How does this compare against something like Wanderlog?

Would be nice to see a little more detail on the individual features on the main page.

Oh and your copyright is out of date.
